Bose TV Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's ok. Not a good of sound as I was hoping to get.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendIts OK for a small speaker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is small for a soundbar, and that is the best thing I can say about it. Not much bass, really nothing special, especially for the price. I have a very small Bose Bluetooth speaker which is awesome, so I bought this one. My little speaker sounds way better than this one, so I returned it.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this sound bar because of the Bose reputation and the dialogue feature.
